Formula 1's second day of pre-season testing at Jerez will determine whether teams need to panic about their 2014 preparations, according to Toro Rosso's technical director James Key.

Asked by AUTOSPORT when the time teams would start to panic about preparation was, Key said: "If you're getting to the point of only having done a few laps by the end of day two, you do start to get concerned.
"The cars come in with glowing turbos, bits of smoke coming from places; you need to know that is not a problem.
"With only three tests, by the end of Jerez you need to pretty much know exactly what you need to do in order to go to Bahrain in good shape, because you need those two tests to begin to get everything sorted.


"Internally we knew it would be very tough because there are so many unknowns - there will always be little glitches that occur.
"Often things can stop you that are actually trivial but end up making you stop for a few hours.
"So if you're not running, stringing laps together and getting everything stabilised - understanding temperatures and everything else - there's another set of possible problems you haven't faced yet.
"Running here you can tackle as many problems as possible before you hit Bahrain."


Asked what benchmark teams will need to hit to be satisfied they are ready for Bahrain, Key added:
"Obviously the more the better, but I think if you can do one afternoon with a couple of decent long runs - 15, 20 laps - and make changes in between and begin to hear what the driver is saying, that gives you confidence.
"You can also get an idea of how well the car is coping with that."
 
For any potential lurkers :)

Glad that the McLaren is finally out. Sort of excited to see some talk about the rear of the car as it could mean an innovation based performance advantage. Though it could very easily mean that McLaren have been too ambitious again.

EDIT - Seems like Gary Anderson thinks the car should be a good one, or at least better than last year but that shouldn't be too hard!
